Can you explain the #menswear obsession with patch pockets and soft shoulders? Why do so many want blazers and sport-coats that look this casual? I mean, sprezzatura is one thing, but come on.
Part of it is trend, the other is probably comfort.
I tend to like patch pockets with flaps, personally. I like having the pockets on the outside for comfort and visual style, and the flaps for the practicality of keeping the objects in them from falling out while moving.
As for the soft shoulder, I just think it’s pretty comfortable to wear and the casual look tends to work for most modern workplaces outside of industries where suits are standard.
If you don’t like it, then you don’t have to wear it. For me, it depends on the situation and what I’m doing.

Keep in mind, a sport coat as opposed to a blazer was initially designed for sport, not dress and the patch pocket is one of its defining characteristics.
